To paraphrase Henry Ford: whether you think you can or you can't, you're right. Ya gotta believe, ya gotta have hope, ya gotta be a dreamer to adventure as Ms. Keller suggested. As I've told people about my recent trip driving solo almost 3,000 miles, along with the adventure to the Washington Nationals game by myself, most women have said, "I could never do that." Yep, that's right, with that mindset. How much fun is prematurely beaten to death by pessimists?
Flipping the light switch or waking up your cell phone puts you in touch with great optimists Edison and Bell. If they, along with thousands of other inventors, had not believed, where would we be today? Would we have put men on the moon? Would we have the innovative medical treatments that have saved so many from pain, disease and early death? Would we know the many wonders of our magnificent planet?
It's a fairly simple choice, whether to be an optimist or a pessimist. Be an optimist--if nothing else, you'll annoy the hell out of the pessimists.
Have a nice day! 😉😉
